<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 3818483, member: 73165&quot;]I also hate long sets.&nbsp; Seated and Barber coins are the worst!&nbsp; Not only are there a lot of different coins to acquire, it seems like every 4th one is a key date.&nbsp; Putting together an attractive, grade-matched set of Barber or seated coins (exception: 20 cent pieces, if those count as seated coins) in a grade I can actually afford is rough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, I kind of hate series sets in general.&nbsp; I&#039;m not particularly impressed by albums full of coins that look nearly identical to each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, I love my type set, even though the basic 7070 is somewhere around 76 coins.&nbsp; That&#039;s because there are no key dates to hunt down, every coin looks different, and I can put together a set that looks good together on a budget I can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>Classic commems are an exception, too.&nbsp; I&#039;m working on the 50 piece type set, and loving it.&nbsp; Same reasons, really: I can afford a decent looking, grade-matched set, and every coin looks different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
